Good news, all you Toby Turner haters — you might just have the chance to force the YouTube wunderkind to jump in some lava or be eaten by zombies. Fortunately for the fans of Toby, the effect is not permanent.

The game, which will feed off his nom de guerre “Tobuscus,” will feature Tobuscus and his friend “Gabuscus” as they have to stop an evil wizard from taking over Earth. Also there’s zombies, so that is pretty cool. If the crowdfunding attempt is successful, the game will be available on smartphone and iPad formats, or more, depending on popularity.

It’s an interesting idea, and one that can be amazing if pulled off correctly; fortunately not only does Toby have the chops to achieve a funny storyline (as witnessed by his channels), but he is exceptionally good to his fans and backers, promising all sorts of cool loot and swag for donators — including a chance to be made into a zombie in the game.

Considering the account just raised an additional $4,000 in the last couple minutes and there is still a month and a half left to go, I think it won’t be long until we are all playing “Tobuscus Adventures” and loving every minute of it.
